Jim was always the life and soul of wherever he was.
I have only ever known Scratch with him around, whether dancing or not.

One of my fondest memories is of being taken back to his house after very, VERY cold day of dance in Durham, hosted by Kern as a fundraiser for Children in Need, when every possible tray and magazine was drummed into service for counting the cash, and us and all the kids were roped in to do it. He was great at getting people up and doing things. (He'd asked us back for a cup of tea and a warm!)

My thoughts go out to his family.
